"We had a lovely stay."
Just as other reviews it was lovely and warm. The utility room an excellent provision. Hot tub brilliant. Enjoyed local walks and the Greyhound pub/restaurant (lovely food) although they struggled with card reader and we couldn’t eat there on our last night as we’d run out of actual cash and nearest cash machine was miles away. Very enjoyable stay for our family.

"Just returned from a week in this lovely cottage celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday."
There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 2 dogs. The cottage had everything we needed to make it home from home. There was a slight hiccup when we first arrived with twin beds not being connected to make a Super King. I contacted Sykes Cottages at 5.55pm (when we arrived), they contacted the owner straight away, and called me back. By 6.20 the owner arrived, stripped the beds, and made into a super king! We were happy to wait until the next day, but nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service throughout. We visited Silecroft Beach and also many areas around the Lakes. Perfect location to explore the Western Lakes and Coastal paths. I feel the cottage would benefit from having access to the back of the house to take off muddy boots and coats and leave downstairs rather than stepping through the front door onto a lovely carpet. Would definitely recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday with lovely views, clear skies to see the stars, and hot tub to top it all off!

Excellent location for mountains/lakes as well as beaches. Owners were very accommodating when having to re-book due to covid lockdowns. Hot tub was a lovely added bonus which was in a really nice shelter.

Even though every email and detail stated late arrival due to extra cleaning etc… we arrived at 5pm and had to spend 2-3 hours cleaning, I have photos to prove it how dirty it was, very disappointing. The cleaners should be ashamed.
Lovely cottage once cleaned and worked well for our party.

"I was worried after reading the reviews but the house was fantastic."
It was well equipped with smart tv, hot tub, dishwasher, large fridge and freezer and washing facilities. Two good showers and bath across the 3 bathrooms meant there were never any issues with facilitating 2 families (9 people).
The views were great and the excellent weather helped us enjoy the great outdoor space and enjoy the BBQs
Yes my bed was a little hard but there were a number of options so even Goldilocks would be happy.

"I have put that the accuracy of listing was medium as I actually think the listing doesn't do this place justice."
The rooms are really comfortable, spacious, the hot tub is beautiful and I don't think this is reflected in the photos.
Kitchen is well equipped and there are enough towels for everyone. The showers are great and the rooms keep the heat well.
We did have 1 issue with the TV remotes, they stopped working on the last day and we were unable to turn off or change channel.
The people running the house were lovely and went above and beyond when we contacted them about a missing ring. It has now been returned! So big thank you!

"Beautiful cottage but needs a bit of love and care."
Paint missing from some of the walls in the lobby, curtain broken in kitchen, staircases were old and next to useless and terrible dog smell from carpet in lounge. When we arrived en mass at 4.30pm the cleaners were still there on the friday and asked if we could go away and come back at 6 is! Not impressed as we had 2 babies with us and food delivery booked at 5pm.....house was not cleaned or hoovered properly at all and due to COVID we recleaned and hoovered the house ourselves! Not a great start to the holiday but we still enjoyed our break away, think very very expensive for an unloved cottage
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We apologise that the clean was not to our usual high standard, we have been assured that this was a one off error by the cleaning company. Property Owner

Had everything we needed. 10 women staying together on a family hen weekend and enough room for us all so didn't feel we were on top of each other. Facilities are excellent. Views are spectacular especially while sitting in the hot tub. Would definitely come back again - thinking of family holidays in the future. Only negative thing was that it was a little tricky to find if you come in the other way to what directions they have on their list - but friendly people about to ask directions so got there in the end.
Thanks again - we had a great time here and was very sad to leave

It was perfect for us all and we cant thank Sykes or the owners enough for their speed at responding to my queries in the lead up and recommendations. The house was bigger than the pictures do it justice for, and the hot tub was a much used bonus! Location-wise too it was ideal if you want to go to enjoy some lovely walks within a 30 min drive of the house and both Ulverston & Barrow is close and has everything you might need. My family also want me to add that the bath alone in the house is the biggest and best we've ever had ! Thank you to all, the Hislop family xx
